Be it. known that l, ADAM Goon. citizen vice ready for use.

. by necks E9 ll. with the cylinder.

lin, in the county of Barton and State of Kensss; have invented a. newend improved Air Compressor, of which the following is ll full,

clear, andexactdescription. i v

My invention relates to cylinders and valve mechanism suitable for useas an nir-compressor or us on engine.

Reference is to he had to the accompanying druwii forming a port; ofthis specification, in is similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures. Figure l is a side elevationshowing my de-- Fig. 2 is a vertical longi iodine-l section through thecylinder and lie accompanying ports, and Figs. 5; and are enlarged v'ciicol sections through. the plugvalves used in connection with thecylinder.

The Framework is SiflOWD. at 5 end the cvl indcr at 6, the latter beingprovided with the sli uffing hox 6 I A piston is shown at 7 midi a airof plug-valves at 8 9. These plugvs ves are adopted to rock and areconnected Below the valve 9 is a. pipe 12, and connected Wich this pipeis a hand-valve 13. Below the plug valve 5,; is a. pipe 14,communicating with the slated, the acrifoim body is forced first out ofu pipe 1 2. Extending upwsiri'llyl'rom theplugone endxof the cylinderand then out of the valves 8 9 are pipes 15 16, the hitter (li)E]1lL0t--other after the manner of a reciprocating ing with o "l" 17. lflonuectodwith this E is a pump. When the piston 7 moves to the left' pipe 3.8.Extending from the T 17 a pipe according to the view shown in Fig. 2,the 1.9,providedwitholmnd-velve 19. A safety aeriform body possesoutward through the 90 valve is shown 20 end a 'iressuro gegc at A pipe22 is provided with a hand-valve Inlzernmdiate of" the pipes 15 end 22is e. hs-m'l vulvc 24. Adjacent to this ha11d-velve is a 'l" 2s, andfrom this? a pipe 25 leads away i'o any desired point-say to the bottomof a mine. The pipe 18 is provided with e T 27, which communicates withthe pipe sliding rod .52 are stop-plugs 36, provided, respectively, withset-screws 37 38, whereby the stop-plugs may be adjusted. A11 arm 39 isadapted to engage the stop-plugs 35 36 successively, so as to 'ive a.quick 1ntermittent motion to the sliding rod 32. A post. 40 is providedwith e. heari mg 41 which supports one end of ihe Sllflll'lfif rod 32.This post is further provided with a hearing 42, which power may becommunicated. This 'Whee1 6 is iourneled upon a. frame &6. A .pitman 4 7of substantially Lshope is journaledupon za z head 48, cerricd by thepiston-rod 43, and

pivotally connected with a hand lever 49.

"The operation of my" device it as follows. Motion is communicated tothe sliding-rod 43 by means of either the hand-lever 49 or the wheel 45,as the case may be"tha.t is to say, when the cylinder 6 and its,accompanying parts are to he used by pressing or pumping a medium thehand-lever 49 or the Wheel is employed forscMal-in the piston-rod 43.One use made of the evice when the piston-rod 43 is actuated as above sto compress air, so asl'o supply the same to a mine.'

, it be desired to use the If, on the other llfill apparel-us on engineor analogous motor, on ecriform body, such as steam .or com-. pressedair, is supplied under pressure through the hand-volve 13. The motion ofthe piston is substantially thesame no matter whether the device be usedas a prime mover or as a 'driven unit. comi'nuuicetod to the piston-rod43 as above plug velve' 8, pipe 15, valve 24, and. pipe 25. Meenwhilc anew supply of the acriform body is when in through the valve 13, pipe12, plug-Valve 9, and neck 11. When the piston 7 is moving to the left,the volvesS 9 occupy Motion being the respective positions indicated inFig. 2..

When

16 and 18, and pipe 25. The movements above described heing onceunderstood it is easy to see that if the valve 24 be closed and thevalve 23 be opened the device may be,

owever, the piston reaches the end of ite stroke to the left, the valves8 and 9 are 13. The plug-valves 8 end 9 are provided burned, asindicated in Figs. 3 and 4. 'The with arms 28 29, having slots 30 31,and consierii'orm body is now admitted through the [00 meeting these twoarms together is a sliding' valve .13, pipe 1.4, valve 8, a nd neck 10rod 32, provided with pins 33, which project whereas the eeriform bodyhem? expelled through the slot-s 30 31. Mounted upon the passes outthrough the neck 11, vs ve 9, pipes used for withdrawing an aeriformbody through. the pi e 25 and expelling the some through the va, ve 19.The device is used in this way for the purpose of removing chokedemp andnoxious gases from mines and ably mounted therein, revoh ble plug-valvesconnected with the ends of said cylinder, a pair of pipes leading tosaid plug-valves, means admitting an aeriforni body there through intosaid cylinder, a pair of pipes .leading from said plug-valves, meansconnected with said last-rnentioned pipes for receiving said aeriformbody as delivered thereto frornsaid cylinder, and means connected withboth of said valves for reversing the same.
